Lucy Griffiths goes from Sherwood Forest to Bon Temps, as the English actress joins the cast of True Blood for its fifth season as Nora, the sister of vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard). According to TV Line, the character is described as "intelligent, intimidating, cool under pressure and a very good liar".

Griffiths is best known to her fans on BBC America's Robin Hood as Marion, the headstrong female protagonist involved in a love triangle between the Prince of Thieves (Jonas Armstrong) and Sir Guy of Gisborne (Richard Armitage), the right-hand man for the evil Sheriff of Nottingham (Keith Allen). However, Marion has proven herself as the counterpart to the good-guy outlaw in the fight to help the poor and oppressed through her alter-ego, the Night Watchman.

Marion was killed off at the end of season two, which angered fans, but Griffiths reprised the role in the finale as a ghost. The complete series of Robin Hood is available at either your local Best Buy or FYE stores; you can also get it online at Amazon.
